PropertiesRe: Prepaid Meter: How Do I Handle This With My Landlord? by okine4real: 5:36pm On Feb 13, 2023
CaptainFM1:
Haba....You read that part to your own advantage!

They ran away because they incurred 450k and they couldn't use hotplate again with prepaid meter. They were the first tenants....that's the kind of dilemma that some wicked tenants put landlords.

People always think landlords are wicked, but from my experience, tenants are more wicked than landlords. If you can avoid tenants by all means, avoid them! Afterall, no matter how much you're collecting as rent, most landlord won't recoup the money used in building the house before they kpai!
In all my house, no tenant can bypass. Them know born you well. You can't incure debt for me, they only incured debt when prepaid meter was not avail then. One of my structure, I have 15 prepaid meters, each tenant to his prepaid. You can't bypass, I dey come around and check my house. Any tenant when get AC, dey connect it to there prepaid meter, if I catch you, hummm you know know say landlord dey get madness. One time tenant kept 430k for me, I paid it, all the tenant that left the debt packed out, na so I give all new tenant individual prepaid and I paid the 430k debt, shey me when done wise, another side dey kept about 1.1M debt for me, as prepaid come out, I locked all 8 acc nos to prepaid, there by know more monthly bills, then I distribute the prepaid to tenants according to how them done stay long for the house. Now the debt is around 690k now. As them recharge, NEPA dey collect there 50percent.

gabbasin:
I will advise you to talk to your landlord about the debt on the meter, you can't really blame the landlord because he wanted the tenants to have a separate meter which is ok. Since you've been paying the landlord your energy bills regularly, I think he shoukd have made you guys aware that he has gotten a different billing account for you the tenants. And you should have been paying on the new account instead of him still collecting money from the tenants to buy token on the prepaid meter he's sharing with you. As soon as he is making moves for a separate account, he should have separated the connection from the pole and you guys should have been paying on the new account. The best thing is to share the embedded bill on the new meter to all of you hitherto using his own meter. Make sure you have your points as you approach him.
You make sense here. The landlord should have disconnected the tenants from his prepaid meter the very first month he applyed for a new postpaid acc no, as he disconnected the tenants, he would have connected the tenants to the pole directly and once NEPA bill comes monthly, the tenants go sort them self, if them know pay the monthly bill NEPA would disconnect there light every month, and by the time the tenants prepaid meter is installed, any debt on the postpaid bill will be put on the prepaid meter...

Na your landlord nor calculate am well.

WantsandMore:
Wait, I need clarification, you apply & charges begin immediately? I thought it was use & pay what you have consumed nah?
Shey be you dey see am? I applied on the 1st of Feb ohh. So OP know understand how this things works. The truth is, the OP landlord apply, but the prepaid meter was installed like three months later, so NEPA billed the house for the three months. Nothing concern the landlord, the landlord done do the right thing by buying prepaid meter for una. For my place, each tenant dey on individual prepaid, and there rent na 100k per year, so na only this tenant go clear the bill, nothing concern me.
PropertiesRe: Prepaid Meter: How Do I Handle This With My Landlord? by okine4real: 3:02pm On Feb 13, 2023
From what I see, landlords know dey this thread. Na mostly people when know no how things dey work, just dey vex dey talk.

Feb 1st 2023 I requested a new account for my tenant and also told them to send me payment token for prepaid meter straight. Meaning as my acc no comes out, it would be processed for prepaid meter immediately, once I make payment for prepaid meter, max in two weeks time, my prepaid meter would be installed. This morning morning I got the following message from ikeja

The way it works, once you register a house for meter, am talking of postpaid meter, NEPA will start billing you. From my experience, after the OP's landlord registered the acc, it took the landdlordmonths before the prepaid meter was installed, due to this, the postpaid acc was billed monthly, that was while you had debt on the acc. On my own acc, nothing concern me, the tenant go pay the 16k, I opened account for the tenant, not for myself, once the 200unit when follow the prepaid meter come finish, the tenant go dey pay the debt as him dey recharge.

OP the account was opened for you guys, the landlord decided it's better he moves his tenant to there own prepaid meter because of wahala, so make una pay the debt....

The most important thing is, it's a fresh acc, meaning the postpaid acc was newly open.
PropertiesRe: Whose Duty Is It? The Landlord Or The Tenants? by okine4real: 4:07pm On Jan 20, 2023
As a landlord, this is what I do, I charge my tenants heavy rent, if you want me the landlord do be fixing pumping machine and be replacing a spoilt pumping machine, then ready to better rent. You can't be paying 10kobo rent and expect the landlord to come and spend all the rent he collected in fixing issues for you guys. For example is shomolu room and parlor self contain is 800k, some places are paying 1M, so if as the landlord, you want me to be coming to fix pumping machine for the tenants, then after 800k rent, all tenants would pay 50k services charge
FoodRe: My Table Top Gas Stove Suddenly Shatters When Not In use (pics) by okine4real: 11:44am On Jan 20, 2023
Don't use that top gas again. I onced used it and one of my worker entered my kitchen and told me I should discard the Top gas, he said he has seen where the top gas exploded and the person using then was blind till the day he was talking to me, meaning the top gas exploded and the person cooking got blind due to the glass particules that splashed all over, but I didn't answe him.

On this faithfull day, normally my wife dey cook from like 8am or even 7am, I just don't know what entered my wife that day and she said she would not cook, 12pm reach this woman nor cook, not until my wife younger sister same to the house that day around 12.30pm and decided to cook, immediately she put on the gas, that day she was in the kitchen, my wife in the kitchen, my wife's mum in the kitchen and myself, my wife sister was facing the top gas, as she put on the top gas and decided to leave the kitchen, as she left, my wife left,her mother left, then I followed, I was still at the kitchen door linking to the parlor then I heard BOOM, I looked back, Omo Top gas done explode ohh, everywhere na the Top Gas particules, if my wife's sister where still in front of that Top Gas, till now, that lady for still blind. The detergent cup that was open, glass particles enter, Ogbono when we won cook, particles enter, every corner for the kitchen particles, even sponge for kitchen glass particles dey inside. Not up to 30mins, that my worker entered the kitchen, immediately he saw the gas he said, Oga shey be I tell you, this glass dey explode, say the babe when the gas explode for her eyes for him area, say the lady still blind till tomorrow.

That Top gas dey explode make una nor dey use am again.

This is the best advice that would enable you know if you are fit to marry or not. This is EXACTLY, my thought approximately 10 years ago. I was feeding my babe, my mum and two sibling, so one morning I thought to myself, if I remove my two sibling from my feeding program and replace them with two children, it means I would survive nah. Today I get 4 kids, 10years, 7years, 4 years and 2 years plus plenty tenants for Lagos.

This is the reason the reasonable and educated onces, tell you people to vote the right candidate. I can't believe all you all are talking all this, you people dont know the correlation between voting the right candidate and how the economy would prosper? You people keep voting wrong candidate that keep giving you guys wrong policies, get you people didn't see it from the angle, na juju and diabolism una dey see. You people should do the right thing, vote a candidate that would put it's citizens first and not there pocket.
PropertiesRe: What Is That Diabolical Sign To Look Out For While Renting An Apartment? by okine4real: 4:05pm On Dec 09, 2022
i was in nursery school when my parents moved into the present house i stay. My father was not rich at all, my mother was doing more better than my father. My father was a driver, till he died, his salary was just 20k. In front of our parlor door, which is in between the house and the next compound, the landlady was buried there. My dad is late now, my mum has moved to the village, i occupied the house now, the house is a two bed room flat, am married in the said house now and i have 4 children. In fact i dey ball well well, make i use yahoo boys slang. I have also been able to build a house in the same area, i have been able to build another house in another part of Lagos where i have a minimum of 20 tenants.

Lots of people say i do juju take get money, lots of people say, people dont progress in a section of my house, i always laugh when dey talk.. Nigerians has one problem, we like to pray rather than work smart, we like miracles. Although there are houses where this diabolic stuffs happen, first i have not experienced it before, but one of the major issue people face is, we like to rent a cheaper house, forgotten that, the new cheap house is mostly very far from work. eg people are moving to Ikorodu in Lagos because of cheap house rent, but the people renting this house forget that, the new house is very from there work, when they get to work in the morning, they would be tired, and been tired, most times they cant function properly because of fatigue.

I think most of the time, the house is not the issue, i mean i have tenants spoiling my name say i do ritual, they say am the cause of there problem, i just laugh it off when i hear people talk about this things. my advice is, tenants should stop looking for cheap house that is very far from there work, stay close to your work so you would be more productive, imagine you spending 3 hours in hold up going to work and another 3 hours going back home? that 6 hours wasted ehh, even if na Akara you dey fry, i swear you make be making 5k daily profit, but rather you are wasting away in traffic because you want to pay cheap rent.

I hope am not too late on responding to this thread. My wife choose me over guys that had money when we where dating. She was with them first, then I came Into the picture, I was not even working when I met her, but gradually she left those rich guys for me that was not working, later I got a Job that was paying me 15K monthly. That was how we grew, today we have at least 35 tenants in Lagos. I dont collect any rent, she collects all the rent, she uses it and use them to pay the kids school fees. TGE ONLY REASON J WOUKD NOT HURT HER EITHER BY HAVING A SIDE CHICK THAT IS KWOW. BY HER, OR HAVING ABOTHER WIFE(THIS NOT ON .Y MINS SHA) IS BECAUSE SHE STOOD MY ME, WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING.

you are saying it's better to be a gold-digger than to just fall in love sheepishly. This part made me laugh so loud, i laugh well well. You are not trying to be a Gold digger my brother, its called making a good decision. Falling in Love is good, but the point is, before you fall in love, the lady must meet certain criteria. Dont just fall in LOVE because say, your spirit like her, NOPE. You can like her because she is sexy, because she is funny, but when you talking of love and settling down, she must meet that high criteria, I always tell people something, and its, ALWAYS KNOW YOUR FAMILY HISTORY, SO THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FOREFATHERS WOULD NOT HAPPEN TO YOU. My father marry woman when dey try small, but myself i married a complete poor woman, i loved her because say she fine and was very good to me, but inside the marriage i discovered, she been BEAUTIFUL has nothing to do with happiness in marriage, i discovered that she been nice to me got nothing to do with how i go pay house rent and pay children school fee. In fact, inside the marriage all those love and care she had for me was ONLY beneficial to me personally not to the marriage, In marriage what mattered first is Money then love or what ever follows. If you have money then your wife love and care go come rhyme with the marriage. But if you get money and your woman also get money like you or more than you, your marriage go be like honey moon daily.... but there is a price, she might be arrogant. So you need also check say the woman know be woman when go dey try be little you because she get her own money. As you done get woman when you won marry e good ohh, but know the result of your decision.
FamilyRe: How can I stop my wife from divorcing me? by okine4real: 10:17am On Sep 28, 2022
Am seeing the issue from angle, i will use my father as an example, my father, fathered 5 children, all through i knew my father, he was a driver, my father know get shi shi, till my father died, his salary was 20k. we don't eat in the morning, we only eat at night. But let me tell you whom help the children balanced the equation a little bit, my MOTHER. My mother was a Tailor, she learnt sewing when she was carrying either her 2nd or 3rd child. She was working with UTC abi na UAC then before she lost her job, it was though for her, but she learnt it and became very good in sewing. If my father had married a slay woman, we the children and my father for hear am well well. My nother was more industrious than my dad. Now my father, fathered 5 children, yet he know fit send any of us go university, i remember in those days, even after secondary, all man go dey house because my father didn't even know if the children go go learn work, as JAMB dey jam him children.

Now you are smarter, you know that marrying a slay women cant help you in paying school fee. You know that Marrying a woman without a skill and degree is a recipe for disaster. Look for a way around it, the most likely logical way is, go marry better woman, forget those babes when e be say if them wear cloth all there shape go show and your dick go dey stand, guy those babes are what i call party babes, they are only meant for grooving, for marriage you need a woman that can be as strong as you. a woman that can even provide as much as you, normally a man would say you want to take care of 100 percent of house bills, guy that na lie, even God himself get Angels... You need a woman that would be your reserve, so when injury come, she takes over, guy inside marriage, you go see TOTO, i swear you go tire, everyday you would be spending money, look for a babe that is always busy, that is the kind of babe you have to date, the one always planning, working, improving on herself, not the once thinking of party and how to acquire IPhone 14...

Think like a woman, 99 percent of women falls in love with a guy that is rich not a man that has long dick, a woman falls in love with a man that is ready to settle down not a man that wants to be fucking her daily without proposing marriage. A woman falls in love with a man that can take good care of her first, before dick.

A man falls in love with a lady that is sexy, a lady that is jobless so that she is always avail for sex, a man falls in love with poor woman, so he can intimidate her with his little money.

Change the story of a man, Date a lady that is rich, Note you cant control her unreasonably. Date a woman that her priority is how she would improve on herself educationally, financially and at the same time, pulling her family upwards, Date a woman that has fear for her family(extended family) when issues dey between you and yourself, her family go put her in check....

Have you ever considered this situation, while being married, you need to add money to buy a house, i mean you get houses ohh, but opportunity just come say someone wants to sell a house and you dey short of like 3-5M in purchasing the house, all you just did was you called your wife and she loaned you the money.... Guy no marry any kind woman......

You and your siblings went through that stage because your dad gave birth to 9 children..... If na one you fit born, born am, start early... most important, know marry any kind woman.....

The Major message am passing to you is, don't marry any kind of woman.... marrying any kind of woman dey drag marriage back.... there is know point having a slay queen at home, yet nothing dey inside her head, she go even pass that empty brain inside your children head.

The reason while when woman discover say there husband dey cheat, the reason while them dey fight the side chick be say, them know say there husband na machine, the man dey provide for the house, the man dey take care of the house, so she doesn't want to lose the man, but when a man see say him wife dey cheat or dey try cheat, the man is ready to throw the woman outside, do you know while the man is ready to throw her away? BECAUSE THE WOMAN NO DEY CONTRIBUTE SHI-SHI FOR THE MARRIAGE. If the woman dey contribute wella for the marriage, the man o think am twice.

When my Son is old enough to get married, if the bride price of the wife to be na 1.5M and the woman dey work and her salary dey range of like 1M-3M. I go tell the woman family say make them increase the pride price to 3M, i go pay the money myself not my son, i go pay because the justice that lady salary go dey do for my Son house ehh, even baba God go dey see the effectiveness.

Peace out bro.

Just think am brother.

samuelson06:
Thanks for your concern bro. When you say don't use old age to train your children, can you define old age of the man and the age range of the children in this regard? And when talking about dating a girl that can contribute to the marriage, what if you can't find one?
Observe this senerio, most parents from 60 years are not doing well financially. Am not saying there are not some that has money ohh, but what am saying is, majority are not doing well, so if you have a children you are nursing in school at this age, it means as you dey husle for the child, the child also dey hustle for himself. Now if you give birth at 30 years, Normally on worst case senerio, at 25, your child suppose to done finish university and should be able to stand on his or her own. 30 years plus 25 years, you are 55 years, worst case, at 60 years all your children done comot for your hand. At 30 years, as a father you have strenght to hustle and good mental ability to lead your family, but from 45 years, it's decreases, at 50, it's decreasing, at 60 mostimes, you don't even care if your children done eat or not, at that stage, most parents are tired of 9ja wahala, so they leave the children to go face there problem themselves. So imagine when at 40 years your children done dey enter secondary school, another good advantage of marrying early is, you become more focused, no matter how body dey sweet you, before you spend money to do faji, (groove)you go done put into consideration your family and school fee, I can go on and on..

Girls that can contribute to marriage, brother them plenty well well. Even Inside getto, there are still people that came out successful. You see, a man attracts what he wants, leave flasher girls alone, marriage na different ball game, there are constant bills to pay, forget babe with curves, curves know go help you solve money issue for marriage mostly when you get rent to pay and business dey messup? That babe when dey work and dey drive her, na that type you need, but search for the humble one. There are plenty ladies looking for a responsible man, if they see am say you dey responsible, them self go relax, it's not easy too, but I have one saying, START EARLY, YOU WOULD MAKE MISTAKES EARLY AND YOU WOULD CORRECT YOUR MISTAKE EARLY, BUT START LATE AND YOU KNOW THE REST.

If you stay in Lagos, make we sit down and discuss, I guarantee you, you go change your mind.. it's not easy ohh, if I look at myself, sometimes I go dey vex, I go make money, but I know fit groove my money, sometimes I go dey say, which kind family wahala I done enter, but again when I see my Son, my Daughters, I go just dey happy. You hardly see a man of 40 years and him child dey secondary school, but it's more common for a woman. I started early...I didnot marry a working class woman, infact my wife na opposite of me, the truth is, I dey feel the effect of not marrying a working class or a woman that can help me financially, but luckily for me, myself and my family know lack...
FamilyRe: How can I stop my wife from divorcing me? by okine4real: 3:32pm On Sep 27, 2022
See guys, i wish i can use voice note to explain critical aspect of marriage, typing for Nairaland explaining e know easy..

See last week or so, a guy on Nairaland said he broke up with his babe because the babe didn't have his time because of her busy schedule( SHE JUST STARTED ANOTHER JOB), I laughed i swear, That guy is heading for disaster.... Ohhk, he want to settle for a ladies that is not working, ladies doing nothing, all he is interested in is, make the lady always dey avail for him to Bleep abi? because the babe know dey avail he break up, I SWEAR A BUSY LADY IS THE BEST LADY TO DATE AND PLAN YOUR LIFE WITH.....So when you finally marry that babe when know get skill, that babe when know get work, and you need financial help in marriage, whom go help you? your wife only sabi roll waist on top prick, so she cant help you. One big mistake most men make is, you want to be the sole provider for the family, this is good, but remember you are not God, Also even if you can provide, still make sure your woman has money, her money should serve as RESERVE.

Now as a 30 Year old man, you can marry, you can start small, if you earn 100k, look for a woman that earns 100k or more. Combine your wealth and grow your family. Dont have that mentality of, you want to have more money than your wife so you can control her. I repeat, you don't need to have the whole world before you can marry, the reason you are having difficulty in settling down is because the choice of woman you TOAST are those type that there parents didn't train. When you won TOAST, your criteria should be her background first, not her beauty or curves, beauty and curves don't pay school fees. Am 40 years this year, my first child is in JSS1, my second child is in Primary 2, my greatest mistake in marriage was me over spacing my 1st and 2nd child. 99 percent of my mates, there first child dey Pry 4.

The koko is, date a girl when her papa spend money on her, date a girl when her papa train very well, when you marry such kind of woman in your 30 Years of age, before una enter 10 years in marriage una go done get like two houses or more, traveling out of the country would even be easy because you married a very and highly educated woman, but when you marry woman when her papa know even get garri to give her, the only thing she go get to give you na pussy and to dey move from one prayer house to another. This message is for you @samuelson06. know use old age train your pikin ohh

FamilyRe: How can I stop my wife from divorcing me? by okine4real: 3:58pm On Aug 10, 2022
okine4real:
i like your comment. You spoke soft and gentle, but the other guy call nasgri100 or something, was just there ranting... If you want to pass a message, simply say it, you dont have to insult people. Not everybody is poor here. For the guy ranting, if having a family early don't work for you, simply say it politely, know point insulting people.... Having a family early can work for you only if you set your priority straight. First leave those slay queens alone, they only have pussy to offer, the best kind of babe to go for is that type that hardly have your time while dating, she would not have your time because she is working, she also is trying to build her career, but we guys we prefer the jobless girls, that is ready to sleep over in our house any fucking time, she is ready to sleep with you any fucking time, let me tell you, the more you associate yourself with jobless girls, you tend to start falling in love with them, initially you would not know what you have gotten yourself into, because you are enjoying her, but when children start coming, you would then realize that, you need a helper, but how can she help? she can help you only with her pussy and not her brain..... So you now start complaining about the country, yes through the country get issues, but you as a man was also part of the issue. I started early, i got married at 30, i have 4 kids now, but am happy i made the decision then, am happy i didn't wait till i had so so so much money before i start having kids, my first Son would be entering JSS1 by September and am 40 years of Age this pass June 7th.

One of the advice i would give you is, most times difficult situations make us great. if i want to relax or lets say i want to decide i dont want to go to work, when i remember say my battalion for house go chop, i go just dey go work jeje. But if i dont have responsibility i would just relax because in mine mind i would feel, am not entitled to take care of nobody. So my Friend from Nairaland choose what works for you okay.

Cheers

I'm not going to start childbearing at 40 for no reason. It's better I fight it all now while I'm still alone. You've forgotten that once a child knows that you don't have money and can't take care of them, the respect they usually have for you drops drastically.

I've seen a child calling his dad a useless father and the man couldn't use all the strength in him to correct the child. So, parenting is not about muscles. And when you are talking about wisdom, I can tell you for a fact that it has nothing to do with age. You can be full of it or lacking regardless of your age.

And let me say this: they are many 30-year-olds making it in this country. It all depends on the kind of parenting they got. It all depends on how their parents prepare for them.

Giving birth to a child you can't take care of now and hoping the child would somehow make it in future is a big gamble. Don't advise anyone to do it, please.
i like your comment. You spoke soft and gentle, but the other guy call sammie or something, was just there ranting... If you want to pass a message, simply say it, you dont have to insult people. Not everybody is poor here. For the guy ranting, if having a family early don't work for you, simply say it politely, know point insulting people.... Having a family early can work for you only if you set your priority straight. First leave those slay queens alone, they only have pussy to offer, the best kind of babe to go for is that type that hardly have your time while dating, she would not have your time because she is working, she also is trying to build her career, but we guys we prefer the jobless girls, that is ready to sleep over in our house any fucking time, she is ready to sleep with you any fucking time, let me tell you, the more you associate yourself with jobless girls, you tend to start falling in love with them, initially you would not know what you have gotten yourself into, because you are enjoying her, but when children start coming, you would then realize that, you need a helper, but how can she help? she can help you only with her pussy and not her brain..... So you now start complaining about the country, yes through the country get issues, but you as a man was also part of the issue. I started early, i got married at 30, i have 4 kids now, but am happy i made the decision then, am happy i didn't wait till i had so so so much money before i start having kids, my first Son would be entering JSS1 by September and am 40 years of Age this pass June 7th.

One of the advice i would give you is, most times difficult situations make us great. if i want to relax or lets say i want to decide i dont want to go to work, when i remember say my battalion for house go chop, i go just dey go work jeje. But if i dont have responsibility i would just relax because in mine mind i would feel, am not entitled to take care of nobody. So my Friend from Nairaland choose what works for you okay.

Cheers
PropertiesRe: Reasons Tenants Dont Want To Stay In A House The Landlords Leaves by okine4real(op): 5:36pm On Aug 09, 2022
another gist, i have three tenants that has moved from my house this year, the issues here is, two of the tenants are troublesome tenants, while the third is a confirm good guy. The two troublesome tenants are those kind of people that would not want to pay nepa bill, but because i installed individual prepaid meters, when they parked each of them still had more than 30 units left on there prepaid. The third person also left more than 20units also. As a landlord, you need to understand that, you have to structure your house in such a way that tenants would find it difficult to leave debt for you while packing out of your house. If not that I had individual prepaid meters, I swear, those two tenant would keep nothing less than 150k as debt for me. Next house I would build, I would Instruct my plumber to pipe the house in such a way that individual flats pipe water can be locked and isolated if tenant is found wanting.

Using the two troublesome tenants as a case study, normally they would tell you the country is hard, that is while they can't pay nepa bill, but give those tenants prepaid, you would observe that, they would never run out of unit. I learnt the hard way, so now know tenant would mess me up. I also just informed them, that if there prepaid meter is faulty, they would not be allowed to bypass the light, if it takes 1 week for them to repair there prepaid, it's after that one week they would have light...


Stay tuned.

Thanks so much for finding wisdom in my comment even though some have chosen to condemn it.

I may sound arrogant but I love everyone and most times, I talk in a manner that'd make you feel bad at first, and later you realize that what I said was the blunt truth. And I also talk regardless whether we are meeting on- or off-line.

I'm in my middle thirties and still single and it's not as if I wouldn't have loved to be married but considering the background that I'm coming from, I've chosen to wait a little longer so I don't end up reinforcing poverty that I came to see in my family.

I feel if that's the sacrifice I'd have to make for my unborn children, then so be it. I've tasted poverty and I hate it with everything within me. I don't wish my children experience it. But glory be to God because I'm winning the battle.

I don't see any sense when people in my age bracket say they want to get married early so they can still be strong to take care of their children. And I ask, what's wrong in having your first child at 40? Won't that child be 30 when you turn 70? Can't a 30-year-old comfortablly take care of his or herself even if I die at 70? BTW, a 70-year-old can still be very strong if he takes good care of himself, especially if he keeps to his fitness routines.

You'd agree with me that even an 18-year-old can take care of his or herself alone having received the right the right parenting and having everything needed to navigate through life. What's the point of jumping into marriage and ending up giving birth to children you can barely take care of and eventually losing them to the society? You end up suffering for nothing. And the you lose your children to the society, you are automatically a failure. I can go on and on but let me stop here.

The youths just need to sit up because the beginner is not always the finisher.
Let me explain something to you, look around your area, look for men that are 70 years of age, check how many of them can even pay there rent? Check how many of them is ready to judiciously ready to take care of there children?

Let me tell you the fact truth, @30 years, that is one of the best time to start your family. You see, money alone is not needed to manage a family, strength, wisdom is also needed. When you are 30 years, and you have a child, at 40 years, your first child would be 10 years, already at 40 years, you are still very strong and agile, you can monitor your child very well at this age, but when you are 70 years watin you won dey do, even at 70 years your child would be 30 years, how many 30 years old children done make am for 9ja? In the next 30 years, may be 9ja go done spoil the more. All am saying is, marry your own devil now and start your family.

@guys that are yet to marry, hope you can see, nothing like love ohh, she loves you only because of what you can do for her, take those things away, she would flee. I done marry ohh, i get 4 children, but if what i know now, i knew it like 15 years ago, i think i would have made a more better decision in choosing whom i would marry. Men done work your ass out because of family or wife, if you die they would move on, highest after a months, another man go continue from where you stop.

Could you please send the sketch drawing of how it works for better understanding. Thanks alot
"I'd sent you an email by the way!"
its a simple machine called Floating switch. the job of the switch is to switch off and on the submersible pumping machine. once the water in the tank is low, it would switch on the pumping machine automatically and once the tank is full, it would also switch off the pumping machine. its a very known machine.
